This is William Osman. And whether he's building a freaking DIY X-ray machine in
his basement or turning Simone Yetch's car into a giant computer mouse, yes,
you heard that right. He's clearly a pretty smart cookie. So Galaxy brain, in
fact, that he created an event called Open Sauce where he and all the other
Galaxy brains can hang out and do whatever it is that a bunch of nerds in
a large room together do. We're going to find out soon since some of that stuff
gets filmed and will be put on Sauce Plus. But here's the thing, that
requires storage. A lot of storage. And we all know that building a NAS or
network attached storage is way harder than building an X-ray machine. Is this
it? No. See, I was being facitious before. Normally, building a .naz is
actually super easy because it would look like this, and you would just slot the drives in the front. But when the
customer asks for it to be portable and gives you a month to do it, and then
asks you to build two of them, sorry, then it gets more difficult. Actually, I
lied. That is one of them. >> But the other one it's going in here.
Come see. Oh,
okay. They're right behind me. I don't have much time. They don't want me to tell you how ODU can cover all your
business needs because then you don't have to use their apps. And Oh,
>> get him. I know you've built robots and stuff,
but have you ever actually built a computer? >> I'm building a new computer.
>> Yes. You say that like it's harder than building a robot. >> Well, no, not that it's harder. I just
thought it would be beneath you to even bother. >> No. >> Okay. Have you ever built a NAS?
>> Just sliding hard drives into a Synology account is building a NAS.
>> Sure, but we're not building a NAS or network attached storage. We're building
an anywhere storage server.
>> AS, >> right? And one of the most important
things for ass is that it's solid.
>> Solid ass. >> Well, you don't want liquid.
>> That's a lot of solid ass in your hand. I've never seen that much in one place.
>> To make sure that this portable ass would be as robust as possible. We opted
for a set of four Kioxia CD6 data center
SSDs. Each of these holds a whopping
15.36 terab of data. So do the math and
you've got 45 tab of usable data and
lightning fast. >> This is cool. This is not ass.
>> No, it is ass. >> Oh yeah, it is ass. >> Anywhere storage server. It's like a
professional term in this context. You can't be like >> it's not funny. >> No, this is not funny.
>> This is serious business. >> Serious ass. >> Serious solid ass.
So, you can buy things like this that hold these special NVMe drives. Except
the the one for PC Gen 4, not even Gen 5
is >> $500 >> just for the case. Ju just for the
thing. >> Well, for the case and also the board at
the back. Yeah, the back plane. >> We're not going to use a board at the back. We're going to use cables.
>> So, that's a lot cheaper. And we didn't want to spend the money on you. >> No, I understand. I wouldn't spend the
money on me either. >> Yes, me. Yes, man.
>> There you go. >> And a backpack. >> lt Store.com. >> Oh, god. Yes. ltstore.com. You can get
What is this backpack? >> Commuter backpack. >> Commuter backpack. Can I get it right
now? >> Yeah, >> right now. >> Yeah. >> For only $169.
>> I'll just AI dub your voice. >> Yo,
wait, that's sick. You can see when your bits are missing.
>> Will it work?
>> Hell yeah. >> Hey, Jesus. >> You broke it.
>> It does eventually come out. Now he's going to do revision 43. This is super
cool. It's a server motherboard, but it uses socket AM5, meaning that you can
put a regular consumer chip in it. >> What's the difference between a server motherboard and a regular motherboard?
fundamentally not that much other than that they have an extra network port
right here that is designed for remote access and I can reboot the system
remotely or I could even flash my BIOS over a network connection because a
server motherboard is designed to sit in a data center where realistically the
administrator of it never actually physically touches the thing in their
entire life. >> This is the motherboard tray. >> Nice. Cute, right? Did you printed that
vertically? >> No, flat. No, I'm saying you printed it
in like the weakest orientation. >> Listen, if it breaks, don't call me.
>> Here's the CPU we went with for you. It's a Ryzen 9 9950X3D.
Basically, the fastest consumer CPU on the market. 16 cores, 3D vcash. We're
probably going to have to run it in like eco mode cuz even though the X3D chips
do have lower TDPs than their nonX3D counterparts,
this is not exactly the world's best ventilated case. Do
>> another thing that AS is going to have in it is a network switch because I was
told that multiple computers need to connect to this AS which is a UniFi Pro
XG8 PoE. It's a 8 port 10 gig PoE++ two
SFP plus 10 gig. So we get 10 10 GB ports and we needed a way to pass the
Ethernet cables out of inside that's going to go on the outside and then it
has the little put the little Ethernet guys in there. >> What if we glued the opposite polarity
so that it won't close? It just constantly flips open. Oh wait, I have
to deal with this. It's amazing to me >> that in a world where channels like
yours exist, >> we get a hard time from our audience
about, you know, doing things too janky or temporary. >> Well, I set the bar from the beginning.
>> Have we ever actually explained the point of this? >> The Pelican case.
>> It's a portable rugged NAS that can be taken to open source.
>> Okay, I'm going to give you a task. We got the Minis Form MSA2. This is a very
small but very powerful computer. It has a 16 core CPU in it, not unlike that
one, but just more power efficient. Yeah, >> this is going to be the hard drive NAS.
But the problem is these get hot and they need cooling.
>> So, your options are either we fit a specifically portioned fan right here
that already is wired, but you need to cut this heat sink. >> Mhm.
>> Or you design a thing to put a fan on the outside
>> and it blows down on the card >> over the thing. >> And we'll trim it. We'll cut the heat
sink. >> Okay. We should put some stuff in this Pelican case, right? That guy. Boom.
Just kidding. You got to take it apart first. Sorry. I'm just very distracted
by the Oh, that's way worse. >> Fine, I'll go outside. Just go to the
shop. >> Honestly, I would spend most of my time
back here if I was them. This place is great. There's bushes with thorns.
There's rat traps. There's greenery.
All I need is 10 more minutes and I'll have sod for this be.
I can't believe they don't have better tools. >> Just go to the shop.
>> Maybe 20 minutes. Okay, so you have mounts prepared to be mounted. These are
these are polycarbonate carbon fiber. It's incredibly high temperature
resistant. This can handle like fresh off the printer like 100° C.
>> Wow. >> 110°C maybe. And if you enneal it, apparently you can do like
>> 130°. >> Wow. >> Celsius, which is that's pretty hot for
plastic. >> Are you guys doing okay out here? >> I'm doing great.
>> So you found a scrap piece of lumber? >> Yeah. In the backyard and I'm in nature
right now. I feel like a man. Jesus, you butchered that thing.
>> Wa, that is not straight. >> Oh my god. Why did we let him do that?
>> You see how when I move it around, it reflects like a mirror. >> I'd rather have Microsoft Edge.
>> That's how much paste I've put on it. >> That is aing lot of the
>> load of the might actually be a problem. This was smart. You picked the nod bad
side. You see, look, he undid his mistake. He controls E that
>> Oh, they're gone. Does every video happen like this?
>> Yeah. Just sort of a disaster. Then the editors have to like figure out how to
put it together. >> Yeah. Boom. The first vibration mount is
in. I have good news and bad news. >> I know what the bad news is.
>> The bad news is I definitely didn't have the drill bit straight when I was
marking these holes. >> Oh my god. >> The good news is I can just kind of
stretch the ass a little bit. >> Mhm.
>> Yeah. Put your finger in there, Jake. >> Jesus. >> It's not that straight,
>> dude. It's so crooked. >> Yeah, >> you really did a bad job. You're
supposed to like take this on an airplane. >> Yeah, exactly. Dude, if it's a luggage
handler's handling, it's totally fine. Look, it's not going anywhere. That's
the whole point, Jake. It's fine. See,
>> it looks fine. >> Totally fine.
>> I can't believe you've done that to my ass like that. Did it shake a little bit? Like, did Oh, yeah.
>> Maybe a little. That's cool. Now, of course, if we're putting a computer in here, we also need a computer power
supply. And that's where this HDLEX gallium nitride 500 watt power supply is
going to come into play. It's very small, which is pretty much why I'm using it. And this will just screw into
the side like something like that. >> Dude, that thing looks mint.
>> From one second to the next, he's like,
"That looks terrible. That looks ass. That looks so crooked." And then the
next second, he's like, "Oh, that looks mint." >> No, I didn't say mint. >> You He literally you you were recording
mint. >> I was recording say mint. >> Dude, that thing looks mint. Did that thing work? Did that thing work?
>> Okay, but the real question that we need to answer is, will this computer
survive? >> Oh, did you put it in there before you did that?
>> I heard things start moving. How many of these motherboards do we have?
>> None. >> Hey, remember when I said you used the
wrong screws for that switch? Guess what came detached?
>> Well, not fully. >> You see that hole? You see how much it was in there and like how it's like not
at all? So the PCIe bracket for this was the normal long one, but this computer
right here, which is the >> minis form MSA2, >> it doesn't have the long bracket. And so
I cut it and ground it down. And now it fits perfectly. Look, you can't even
tell. I'm holding up something that looks stock. Tada.
>> Jake, what do you think? >> The cut that you did, the bracket is
fantastic. >> I was trying to figure out like how we were going to make these like fit
together. And then >> boom. And how is it going to screw in?
Right into the ass. Yeah, we can just screw that in from the other side. >> M3 screws.
>> Yeah, with Loctite. Oh my god, that is a lot of clearance, Jake.
>> No, no, I know. I'm not I'm not using this. Isn't even a screw that you put
in. >> Jeez, they just fight the whole time. They're just fighting.
>> Okay, so here's what we're going to do. I'm going to put this one in. Then I'm
going to take this one and I'm going to like kind of eyeball line up this one.
And then I'm going to kind of like eyeball line up the rest of them. That
seems like a really good idea. >> So, you think I'm joking? >> There is no way.
>> Look at it this way. It's just plastic. So, if we have to make another hole, it
takes like 2 seconds. >> Yeah. And it's more uh airflow.
>> Yeah. That's on there. I could huck this at the ground right now.
>> Oh, did you put it in there before you did that? >> I heard things start moving.
>> I will I will I will spray paint your mouth with this. >> Wow. It's actually not even that
crooked. Under normal circumstances, Jake and I would absolutely advocate for
proper cooling for these drives, but based on how hard these guys are going to be hitting them, it really might not
matter. Oh, we should probably talk about Open Sauce. >> Oh, yeah.
>> I have 18 seconds. >> Yeah. >> Uh Open Sauce. It's like imagine your
favorite YouTube channel does an event and then they stop doing the event, but
you still want to go to a similar event, you can come to Open Sauce instead.
>> Dude, you like stabbed him right in the heart. You see this? Look how cool this
is going to be when it's done. Hey, >> what are you doing? I'm not going to do
it right now. >> Why not? >> With plasty dip. >> What do you weak? Do you paint?
>> Do I paint? No, I just sniff. >> Yeah. So, she goes pretty Yeah. There
you go. Oh, he's got the technique.
>> That looks good. >> Jeez, dude.
>> Oh my god. You got overspray. >> It's part of it. >> All over it. Okay, that does look pretty
sick, though. >> That's sick. >> That looks like
>> Looks like >> Where did it get all like Oh, it was Oh
my god, there's so much overspray. >> You got a paint problem? M solvent.
>> Oh. >> Uh, yeah. This is not coming off at all.
>> What about electro solve contact cleaner? You think that would work? Why is it working?
>> Cuz it's a solvent. >> What do they put in here? >> They shouldn't have made a bunch of
overspray. >> I didn't make the overspray. They >> Excuse me. I didn't touch the
>> asked it. >> Is he always like this? >> That looks great.
>> Actually, how did you get it down here, Lionus?
>> I didn't do that. >> That is exactly the question you need to be asking right now. I'm going to mark
the pass through for the Ethernet and then we're going to cut this out. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You're getting it. It
only took all day. What are you going to cut that with? >> I was thinking >> the X-Acto knife.
>> Yeah, the razor blade. Yeah. >> Cut most of it out with that. And then we'll use the the soldering iron to
clean up the edges. >> That's psychotic. I'm just going to use the Dremel. Oh, >> okay. Can I just try this for a second?
>> That absolutely not going to work. He's He's about to slice
the whole blade.
>> Do I have stuff on my face? Not even. >> Yeah. You got some little pieces of ass
there. >> That's it. It's just some ass splattered on my face. Okay.
>> Perfect. Look at that. The ass done.
>> Of course, one of these is not aligned.
>> Did you not check that? Have you ever mounted anything to anything in your
entire life? I don't understand how you >> I have three children. >> Let's go. That's exactly where my mind
went there with that, too. What glues TPU together?
super glue.
>> It the super glue totally holds the TPU together and you can't even break it.
Wow. Actually, I didn't I thought it would break.
>> Oh my gosh. >> It's not breaking at all. >> Oh, dude. That is on there.
>> You doing okay there, bud? Look, if it's any consolation, he's just gluing it
together at this point. >> I need a hand with this real quick. >> All right. Where do you want the hands?
>> Uh, okay. This is not quite what I had in mind. Actually, where you were was
probably Pretty solid.
>> My love, my darling.
>> Is there going to be a flipping exclusive for the shoot? >> You are something with the square one.
>> Something special. >> Oh god. Making stuff.
>> I can tell you for sure that not everything is going to make it into the YouTube cut.
>> Is it that spicy? >> It's not even spicy. It's just terrible.
>> It's ass. >> LMG.gg/flowplane.
This is a NetApp DS4243.
It's basically a giant box that holds hard drives, but it doesn't have a computer in it really, so you have to
supply your own computer. We got our minis form here. We got the lovely card
that you modified. We take a mini SAS HD cable, plug it in there to QSFP, and you
plug it in there. Boom. Now you have a
server with up to 24 hard drives. And fortunately for you, Server Part Deals
provided you 16 of these 18 TB WD SAS
hard drives. That's like 300 terabytes. >> That sounds that sounds about right to
me. >> So, we're going to do something called RAID Z2. So, we'll take our 16 drives and split them up into two groups of
eight. And then in each group, two of the drives are parody. So, you can lose
two drives and not lose any data per each group.
>> Meanwhile, I am getting our last external component
>> lockited and mounted. What do you want? >> I got a template for you.
>> What do you want? I have a template for you. >> What do you want? >> Take it. Receive my template.
>> Okay, give me your template. >> Receive the seed. >> Oh, that's such a weird thing to say.
>> Do you like it? >> I do. You can put it on my ass. I have
some pretty good news though, gentlemen. The switch totally fits now.
>> Woohoo. >> With the with the boost now. It works. >> Is that what you call this?
>> Yeah, the boost the boost shoes >> lift kit. >> It's like for people who want to be
taller, they wear like boost shoes. >> He knows. He knows exactly.
>> Why would you bring that up? I'm just I didn't I thought that was normal.
>> Well, now I feel like an >> No, I'll show you an apple.
>> Now, while Linus and William work away on our lovely that, it's time to finish
off the other server, our hard drive setup, which fortunately is way easier.
There are a few choice upgrades. However, I've got a pair of these Sabrin
4 TB SSDs. Rather than storing basically
where the files are on the hard drives themselves, we're going to store that
data on really fast SSDs. So when you go to navigate that big file structure of
whatever files William Osman has on his NAS, it looks and feels like an SSD
server when it's really not. And last but not least, a serious upgrade to the
RAM. We're adding 96 GB of DDR5. This
will be plenty to act as a RAM caching
layer for our ZFS pool once we have Truness installed. That just means our
hard drives will be faster. >> All right, >> that's actually sick, dude.
>> That looks great. This is >> kind of questionable work.
>> Kind of awesome. For those of you who have watched this long and gone, what
are they building? This right here is a solid state storage NAS. So, basically
allowing them to capture any footage at open source from almost any number of
cameras practically speaking. We've got a couple of power supplies, one for the
computer as well as one for the integrated network switch that will
allow them to plug up to eight editors into this thing at once. Now's a good
time for us to give a quick shout out to server parts deals minis forum as well
as AMD for sending over some of the parts for this setup. >> Gill, it's going to be a pretty sick
flipping setup when we're done. So the idea is that they'll be able to not only
capture everything to the Pelican Nest or the S as we call it. Uh but they'll
be able to back everything up off site to this JBOD minis forum Frankenstein's
monster. >> I just met you and this is crazy, but um I'm glad we built an ass.
>> Yeah. Takes two people to make an ass this big. How would you mount this whole
setup with this? >> You need a rack. >> A rack. Okay. So, I have an ass and I'm
missing a rack. >> You need a rack for your ass. I am ready to create the pool. We're going to call
it ass backup. Um, >> no. It's got to be back that ass up.
>> Back that ass up.
>> Look at that. You have 186 tibbytes. >> That is psychotic.
>> 204 tab. You got some 32 cores. Wait,
that in this box? >> 96 GB of RAM
>> and 32 cores, >> 32 32 threads. >> Well, if the goal was for it to look
like ass, mission accomplished, boys.
>> If you only store video, it doesn't really matter, but there's some cool stuff you can do in ZFS, like native
file system compression. So, if you have like a bunch of photos, you just put
them on the drive and it in the background compresses the data so it
uses less space. >> Specifically, like raw photos, like like less compressed data. ZFS is extremely
robust whether you're using the compression features or whether you're
not. >> I do a bunch of cable management and then I will fly this ass to you. This
one you got to figure out yourself. >> This one? >> Yeah. >> No, we'll ship it to you.
>> Yeah. Oh my god.
>> So, when we built this thing, I didn't know how it was going to connect to anything. Ian, who's like William
Osman's homie that does open source stuff, was like, "We might hook up some
Mac minis." So, it's a 10port, 10 GB switch in there. So, we could hook up a
lot of Mac minis. We can bring some camera feeds and we can do whatever you want.
>> Okay. We don't have power yet, >> right? So, what I'm thinking is today we
set it up somewhere here that we have networking where all the network info is
going to be the same. So, we can like configure whatever subnet you got and
then it can just get moved later. >> Yes. Uh, you might want to censor the
next bit.
The moral of the story is everything sucks and I just have to set it up temporarily and fix it another day.
Great. Thanks, William. Let's see if it
still works. I brought this on the airplane. Like it went through the scanner thing and they didn't say
anything. They were just like, "See you later." Fortunately, I did do most of
the setup already. It's got trass scale on it. It's seemingly working. The
problem is once I got it booted up and I was looking at stuff, I realized we
forgot to add cooling to the SSDs. Under normal circumstances, Jake and I would
absolutely advocate for proper cooling for these drives. They were idling at
70°, which wasn't enough to kill it, but I'm
sure as soon as we went to like write any data to this thing, it would have been game over. Fortunately, Mark Rover
came to the rescue and helped me uh print out this little like bracket thing
that's going to sit on top of the SSDs kind of like that. And we'll add a fan
and it will hopefully be enough cooling. I also forgot a power button. There's no
power button. You use a screwdriver to turn it on.
There we go. Beautiful. It coil winds
really bad though. >> You hear that whine? It's brutal.
>> But if you have your head up in your ass, this really can hear it.
>> I don't know if this is going to work. I literally didn't test this at all. It's just going to have to work. It'll be
fine. I mean, it's just for William Off. It can't be too nice, right? Fans on.
Looks like it fits. I had to like use heat set inserts as washers cuz the
screws were too long and were hitting the the top of the drives. And there's
another problem. I 3D printed new TPU
inserts to give us space for the brackets that this mounts with. Except I
left them in Mark Rover's office and nobody has TPU. So, I don't know what
I'm going to do. Duct tape. Maybe I'm going to kill them.
>> Yo, >> I came all the way from Canada to give you this ass and you didn't even show
up. >> Your ass? >> You're so late. >> My ass. It took this whole time.
>> I love my ass. >> I love your ass, too.
>> See, it has fans now. >> It's best features. >> We were driving the giant robot truck
around. I couldn't >> What? >> You see it outside? >> Can we put the ass in the robot?
>> We put the ass in the robot. >> That thing looks like
>> This looks like ass. At least it does now.
We can't set it up till tomorrow, but at
least we made it.
Okay, see you later. I'm going back to Canada. >> Thanks for the app. >> Good luck.
